Waiheke Island, New Zealand Auckland Council Full time

**He angitūtanga: The opportunity**

Local Board Advisors play a pivotal role in representing and serving their communities. They are integral to the decision-making process within Auckland Council's shared governance structure, which encompasses both local boards and the Governing Body.

As an advisor you will provide robust advice across a wide spectrum of local government services and activities, ensuring effective representation and community engagement

You can expect to:

- Provide high-quality and timely advice to local board members
- Build strong and effective relationships with local board members and other council teams
- Articulate and reflect local boards’ views and priorities in regional strategies, policies and plans.
- Progress, track and resolve issues on behalf of the local board.
- Review and provide advice on the content for local board public meetings and workshops.

**He kōrero mōu: About you**

To be successful in this role you will be politically savvy and a strategic thinker. This role will see you balance competing demands while working well under pressure. As an advisor, you will provide impeccable policy and strategy advice to support the local board.

At the heart of this role, you will work closely with the board and other council teams to address the issues and aspirations of Tamaki Makaurau

To do justice to this position, you will need to have an extensive experience in writing, and financial acumen, and be able to demonstrate how you can effectively influence and contribute across small teams.

We are specifically looking for:

- Tertiary qualified with a relevant degree, for example in public policy, public management, humanities, business, finance, or law or equivalent relative experience
- Strong background in governance or a related field
- At least 3 years’ experience in providing policy and strategy advice

**Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou: What we offer**

In return, you will be immersed in a team of experts with a thirst for enabling the local board to address the needs of the area. This role will also have you connect across Council with other advisors to further develop your experience and expertise.

Auckland Council is one of the largest local authorities in the South Pacific providing essential services and facilities to more than 1.6 million people. We are progressive socially, culturally and environmentally while we work towards creating change having an impact on our journey to becoming a world-class city for our ratepayers and residents.

You will have flexibility as there may be local board meetings that you will need to attend after normal working hours.

Ehara taku toa, he takitahi, he toa takitini My success is not mine alone, but the success of many.
